Commentary:

A legitimate question

    By Jack Grant

If John Kerry apparently cannot lead an effective national campaign, responding to changing circumstances, is that an indication of how he might perform as President of the United States?

I don't think Kerry's really been pushed to the wall yet. His performance in the primary might prove instructive: A roaring start, followed by a few months of sputtering, then a come-from-nowhere victory after everybody had written him off.

Note the sequence of events in the general election.

Possibly...

I wonder if that's the right characteristic to fight a long, slogging, slow, tedious, dangerous, stalemated, difficult war, though.

As always, time will tell.

Responding to changing circumstances might require some flip-flopping. Kerry, I think, has developed a complex about that.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
